Lenovo, my choice for no particular reason, and HP both make similar computers with similar used markets. One of these with a 2tb NVMe drive is my recommendation for node hardware. Far faster than your raspberry pi.

Dell Optiplex are tiny, absurdly cheap computers that are a great first step for self-hosting out of your house.

Why? Businesses and schools buy hundreds of these at once and then "liquidate" them a few years later. Therefore they're way cheaper than regular PCs for their specs.

For less than the cheapest smartphone you can own a small slice of the Internet.​
